“The most authentic thing about us is our capacity to create, to overco...” — Ben Okri Quote

The most authentic thing about us is our capacity to create, to overcome, to endure, to transform, to love and to be greater than our suffering.

To sustain your belief through situations that completely undermine it is quite something.

I lived rough, by my wits, was homeless, lived on the streets, lived on friends' floors, was happy, was miserable.

One of the greatest gifts my father gave me - unintentionally - was witnessing the courage with which he bore adversity.

To anyone who is homeless, I say, find a home.

I've been absolutely terrified every moment of my life - and I've never let it keep me from doing a single thing I wanted to do.

If you always put limit on everything you do, physical or anything else. It will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them.

I'm not an inspirational quote kind of person.

Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant.

I do love to eavesdrop. It's inspirational, not only for subject matter but for actual dialogue, the way people talk.
